Pop icon Olivia Rodrigo passes out FREE Plan B, condoms, and abortion info on global tour
Gen Z pop icon Olivia Rodrigo is quickly becoming a household name. Famous for songs like “drivers license,” “good 4 u,” and “deja vu,” the 21-year-old singer is now considered one of the top artists in the world.
Unfortunately, Rodrigo, like many Hollywood stars, is using her platform “to shape the minds of her young, very malleable, very impressionable audience to make it seem like abortion is not only okay but great,” says Allie Beth Stuckey, who admires the singer for her “very catchy” music rather than her political activism.
During her world tour “Guts,” Rodrigo has made it a point to “[distribute] free Plan B” (or Julie) to her audience.
While Plan B and Julie are marketed as medications that can “stop you from getting pregnant,” in reality, neither “actually stops fertilization,” making them abortive methods of birth control, according to Allie.
However, that’s not all that Rodrigo distributes at her concerts.
According to Variety, “Olivia Rodrigo has made good on her promise to expand awareness and access to reproductive healthcare, inviting the organization Right by You to distribute free emergency contraceptives, condoms and information about abortion to fans on her ‘Guts’ world tour. Concertgoers at her March 12 show in St. Louis, Mo., were able to grab a package that includes two boxes of Julie – an emergency contraceptive that helps prevent pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex – as well as cards with QR codes linking to abortion access resources and the Missouri Abortion Fund. Fans also reported free condoms and stickers being passed out.”
In a video that aired prior to her tour launch, Rodrigo said, “For the North American life of the ‘Guts’ World Tour, I'll be partnering with the National Network of Abortion funds to help those impacted by healthcare barriers and getting the reproductive care they deserve.”
Further, in 2022, following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Rodrigo paused a concert to say, “Our body should never be in the hands of politicians. I hope we can use our voices to project our right to have a safe abortion, which is a right so many people before us have worked so hard to get.”
For Allie, who believes that “life starts at conception,” Rodrigo’s political stunts are highly problematic, especially considering her audience members consist of mostly teenagers.
The left loves to push the faulty ideology that abortion somehow is equivalent to “reproductive health care,” but abortion is “neither reproduction nor health care,” says Allie.
“Reproductive health care, reproductive justice, access, equality, autonomy, choice — these are all euphemisms to cover up what is objectively a very brutal and bloody practice.”

Abortion promoters told to stop handing out morning-after pills at Olivia Rodrigo concerts due to the presence of children
Pop star and former Disney actress Olivia Rodrigo will no longer have abortion funds handing out emergency contraceptives and other birth control products at her concerts.
Days before the decision was reportedly passed down from her team, Rodrigo made international headlines after she announced her Guts World Tour would be providing morning-after pills, condoms, and even lubrication to attendees at her concerts.
Rodrigo made the announcement herself in a social media video, in which she announced a partnership with the "National Network of Abortion Funds to help those impacted with health-care barriers to get the reproductive health care they deserve."
Fans of the 21-year-old singer received a progressive care package at Rodrigo's March 12, 2024, show in St. Louis, Missouri.
The package included two boxes of Julie and promotional codes that linked to the Missouri Abortion Fund. Julie is meant to prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
Other concertgoers reported getting free condoms and stickers at the concert.

Variety has since reported that Rodrigo's team preferred they no longer pass out lubrication, condoms, and Plan B because "children are present at the concerts." The message was reportedly disseminated through the Slack messaging app by the National Network of Abortion Funds, the company that had originally partnered with Rodrigo for her North American tour dates.
Three sources at partnered abortion funds reportedly confirmed the information to Variety but not without representatives at the companies expressing extreme disappointment in the decision.
Jade Hurley, communications manager for the DC Abortion Fund, said that "youth need access to birth control and emergency contraception" and that what they were doing is "completely legal in all 50 states."
"There is something really positive about a 16- or 15-year-old having a Plan B and a few condoms in her dresser to use as she needs it," said Destini Spaeth, chair of the Prairie Abortion Fund. Her organization had a booth at Rodrigo's March 15, 2024, concert in St. Paul, Minnesota.
"Sex and sexual health tools — whether that be abortion, Plan B, condoms — are villainized because you’re [seen as being] promiscuous. We don’t look at it as a sign of responsibility," she added.
The DC Abortion Fund announced on X that they would be using a workaround after the decision, saying that they "have no issue handing out Plan B, free of charge, on the public sidewalk outside the venue."
Rodrigo's team did not respond to requests for comment.
Little do these decision-makers know: We have no issue handing out Plan B, free of charge, on the public sidewalk outside the venue\ud83e\ude77\n\n#GUTSWorldTour ticket-holders OR NOT: See you July 20th outside Capital One! We take care of us\ud83e\udec2— (@)

Olivia Rodrigo Hands Out Free Morning-After Pills To Teenage Concertgoers
In addition to free abortifacients at her concert, Missouri fans received cards that read 'Funding abortion? It’s a good idea, right?''I'm really excited': Pop star Olivia Rodrigo gives out morning-after pills at concerts for 'reproductive health freedom'
Gen-Z pop star Olivia Rodrigo said she partnered with a national abortion network and decided to give out emergency contraceptives — often referred to as the morning-after pill — to concert attendees on her tour.
As part of her Guts World Tour, Rodrigo partnered with the National Network of Abortion Funds in order to give away the emergency birth control called Julie, which is meant to prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
"With Julie, people are getting more than a pill; they're getting the information and support they need to make the best decisions. We want to help our customers live out a better morning after," the manufacturer said in a press release.
"Before I pop onstage, I wanted to come on here and talk about things I'm really excited about," Rodrigo told her nearly 900,000 TikTok followers. "The 'Fund 4 Good' works to support all women, girls, and people seeking reproductive health freedom. The fund will directly support community-based nonprofits that champion things like girls' education, support reproductive rights, and prevent gender-based violence."
"For the North American leg of the tour, I'll be partnering with the National Network of Abortion Funds to help those impacted with health-care barriers to get the reproductive health care they deserve."
@livieshq olivia has launched #Fund4Good ♬ original sound - livies hq ❤️
Rodrigo's Fund 4 Good will work through the Entertainment Industry Foundation, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit.
Its mission statement called it a "global initiative committed to building an equitable and just future for women and girls through direct support of community based non-profits that champion girls’ education, support reproductive rights and prevent gender-based violence."
The new fund was unable to stick with just the abortion issue, however, as it also announced it would be fighting racism and misogyny.
"For the North American GUTS world tour, Olivia will partner with local chapters of the National Network of Abortion Funds to ensure those most impacted by systemic racism, misogyny, and healthcare barriers can get the reproductive care they deserve."
Fans of the 21-year-old singer received a progressive care package at Rodrigo's March 12, 2024, show in St. Louis, Missouri.
The package included two boxes of Julie and promotional codes that linked to the Missouri Abortion Fund. Other concert goers reported getting free condoms and stickers at the concert, Variety reported.

Rodrigo is no stranger to political activism; in 2021, at just 18 years old, she appeared at the White House to promote vaccine efficacy with a similarly marketed, kid-targeted tagline that vaccines are "Good 4 U," a play on her hit song of the same name.
The singer has more than 13 million YouTube followers and approximately 37 million followers on Instagram.
She got her start on Disney programming at 13 years old before working on the oddly named "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" from 16 to 19.
Her music career began in 2020 after signing with Geffen and Interscope Records.
